According to Dr Sandra Cabot

healthy eating
including Raw Juices can Save Your Life!
citrus
is one of the healthiest foods available.
"Oranges are one of the highest sources of natural vitamin C in
the world
" Dr Cabot said. "Oranges have many health benefits
including helping to prevent cancer and other diseases
reducing
cold and flu and assisting in weight loss."
Her view was supported by independent research from Australia's
CSIRO
which found citrus fruits contain an abundance of
antioxidants and phytochemicals which are believed to play an
important role in protecting the body against a range of
illnesses. Oranges are also low on the glycaemic index which
means they can help stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce
hunger pangs.

such as those grown in Australia
are
"renowned for their superior juicing properties" says Dr. Cabot.
But
fresh juice from this variety can be given extra zing by
squeeze a lemon
lime or grapefruit into the juice to boost
vitamin C levels and produce different taste sensations.
